Secret Passageway Switch is the first step toward building your own Batcave

By Rick Marshall Published November 18, 2011

It might be a while before you’re able to complete your secret lair, but you can take the first step toward building it with the Secret Passageway Switch.

Available via Vespoe, the switch turns a hardcover book into a switch that can open a secret door to your subterranean headquarters… or simply turn on a lamp. Basically, it can control anything with a standard plug, so the possibilities are endless. (Want a coffee? Here, let me flip this secret coffee-maker switch!)

Okay, so maybe the possibilities aren’t exactly endless… but it’s still a fun little gadget.

Just imagine having all of the appliances in your house operated by cleverly corresponding novels. It would drive people insane.

The Secret Passageway Switch sells for $50, but can you really put a price on that level of diabolical amusement?

AI agent reportedly carried out an entire ransomware attack on its own

AI didn't just write malware. It apparently clocked in for work.

Cybersecurity researchers say they have documented what could be the first ransomware attack carried out almost entirely by an autonomous AI agent, marking a significant shift in how cyberattacks could be conducted in the future. According to cloud security firm Sysdig, they have uncovered a ransomware operation dubbed JadePuffer that appears to have relied on a large language model (LLM) agent to perform nearly every stage of the attack without continuous human intervention.

If confirmed, the incident suggests AI is moving beyond writing malicious code and into actively planning, adapting, and executing cyberattacks in real time.

The Washington Post predicted how tech will advance 50 years ago and the success rate is humbling

The Washington Post predicted 2026 tech in 1976. It got a lot right.

Fifty years ago, when floppy disks were cutting-edge and the personal computer revolution had barely begun, The Washington Post attempted a remarkably ambitious exercise: predict what life in 2026 would look like. Some of those predictions now read like science fiction. Others feel surprisingly ordinary because they have become part of everyday life.

In a retrospective published for America's 250th anniversary, the newspaper revisited science editor Thomas O'Toole's 1976 article Inventing the Future, comparing its forecasts with today's technological reality. The results reveal that while predicting exact timelines is nearly impossible, identifying long-term scientific trends can be remarkably accurate.

Australian government warns doctors over AI scribing tools as privacy and safety concerns grow

AI medical scribes face regulatory scrutiny in Australia amid safety concerns

The Australian government is urging healthcare professionals to exercise caution when using AI-powered medical scribing tools, as regulators examine whether stronger safeguards are needed around one of healthcare's fastest-growing technologies, according to a report by The Guardian.

AI scribes have rapidly gained popularity by recording, transcribing, and summarising doctor-patient conversations into clinical notes, reducing the administrative burden on healthcare workers. However, government officials now warn that the technology's rapid adoption has outpaced oversight, raising questions around patient privacy, informed consent, and the accuracy of medical records.
